The smart home

It’s not a question of inventing new gadgets for the sake of the gadget – it is about making room for living. And home technology can do that, when it is beautifully sculpted, cleverly thought out, expertly crafted, and always simple and intuitive. Everybody strives to reduce hassle in their everyday lives. Home technology has the potential to do just that, and this full potential is just beginning to show its true worth.

Since the 1980s, we have worked strategically with interconnecting all Bang & Olufsen products, so that the customer has the benefit of a system, more than just a collection individual units. This interconnectivity has gone through multiple stages of development, and we are proud to say that our

ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES

At Bang & Olufsen we are very committed to the idea that technology should make life more enjoyable, yet simpler at the same time. It is all about embracing new technologies and features, whilst still keeping it as simple as possible. We call it luxurious simplicity.

The home is seeing a lot of changes these days. There is a focus on developing domestic smart devices and apps to go along with them. Everything is online. Everything is connected. Everything is smart.

When new technology emerges, it has a tendency to complicate things, rather than solve problems.
At Bang & Olufsen we work hard to create SmartHome solutions that are subtle and integrated into the lives of families. It is

about freeing up time to be able to focus on what is really important."
We believe that playing music in your home should be as easy as turning on the lights. Isn’t hearing also one of our five senses, just like sight? A manifestation of this approach is the ‘one-touch access feature’. The genius here is not some highly advanced and difficult to use technological gizmo.

It lies in a basic understanding of our human needs and the expectations we have of our homes – playing music or listening to the radio is about setting the scene, and creating an atmosphere.

Turning on a device to play music should be as simple and intuitive as possible. ‘Touch to go’ is Bang & Olufsen’s solution to this basic human insight.” It really does not need to be more complicated.

OUR SMARTHOME PHILOSOPHY

The lights turn on, the curtains open, and your favourite music starts to play, while the thermostat automatically adjusts to your preferred temperature This is the power of the BeoLink SmartHome. Virtually everything you own is your's to control at the touch of a button.

At Bang & Olufsen we strive to enhance your living space by seamlessly integrating your systems and your home. All our products have a proud legacy of excellence in both design and engineering. A statement of timeless quality, ensuring that each new generation is as compatible with the past as it is with the future.

Our products are willing and able to cooperate with all of your available intelligent systems. Our solutions are guided by the overall aim of making life easier and more enjoyable, not only for the homeowner, but also for the installer in charge of the home integration con guration.

THE BEOLINK SMARTHOME

This means that all Bang & Olufsen products know how to speak to each other. Although this has actually been the case since the 1980’s, back then the system was rather closed, making integration with other devices dificult. Since then we have changed to a system with an open IP interface, which enables our total BeoLink portfolio to be integrated with other systems or devices, regardless of the brand.

BEOLINK GATEWAY

The BeoLink Gateway allows your BeoLink system to connect to other devices, brands and home automation systems or smart devices. BeoLink Gateway is the enabler product used in the integration for making the Bang & Olufsen Smart Home solution. The product itself is a "hide-away box" that is just the mastermind in the installation.

Benefits:

• The same interface on all tablets/smartphones as well as integrated Home Control menus in the Bang & Olufsen TV's

• Status overview of all or selected Smart devices or systems (e.g is the light on/off in the garage etc)

• A secure remote access to the home via the BeoLink App (same interface in the home as well as from outside home)

READY FOR THE FUTURE

We mean it when we say that our system is ready for the future. We have been fine tuning our idea of integration from way back in the 1990s with the introduction of BeoLink that allowed all Bang & Olufsen products to share a common language. And we have taken these thoughts into the future, making sure that not only all Bang & Olufsen products speak the same language, but also inviting third party devices to join the system.

And we will keep on working with our overall ambition of creating even more groundbreaking ways to seamlessly integrate home technology solutions. The system is intelligent, and it will grow with the demands of the future. Just like any truly forward-thinking system, we are also aware of the importance of our heritage. It is for this reason that classic Bang & Olufsen products are also taken into consideration. No one is left behind.
